Readers respond: Multnomah Lions’ stunning athletes

Damian Lillard scored an amazing franchise-record 10 three-pointers in the Blazers’ Nov. 28 win over Orlando. But let’s look at another local team’s recent even more jaw-dropping feat. In Multnomah University Lions’ recent 147-124 win over Pacific University Boxers, the small Northeast Portland private college scored an NAIA record-breaking team total of 38 three-pointers. This broke the previous NAIA record of 30 three-pointers scored in a single game, a record originally set by the Lions in 2015. With Multnomah scoring 23 three-pointers in the first half, the halftime score was 89-65. Justin Martin and Zach Richardson led the Lions, each scoring 49 points. Martin made 14 three-pointers, while Richardson made 13. Now that’s not just amazing — it’s stunning.
